maybe the obama administration will make its own history and avoid a second-term scandal. but if not, disney world may seem very appealing. you know, it was interesting, in the president's news conference, he said he was well aware of the history of presidential overreach in second terms. that's a little bit of a different subject, but you get the sense that anyone that much aware of presidential history knows that second-term scandals can be a problem and most likely will be really, really careful. wolf? >> john berman, thank you. good history lesson for all of us. remember, you can follow what's

the obama administration tried to alter that, they tried to get mr. awlawi who is kind of a moderate in there, now we're seeing the fruits of that initial decision. the government in baghdad is not particularly responsive to the united states. it hasn't been on syria, it hasn't been on these issues. i think it would be an exaggeration -- a gross exaggeration to say it's a pawn of iran. but it's certainly true that they do not take america's concerns particularly seriously. and they have their own internal reasons for doing things that are often quite sectarian. and we're stuck with the situation. i don't know that there's much we can do. but i share senator mccain's outrage. >> a lot of people do right now. they're wondering what's going on in iraq. fareed, thanks very much for coming in. we really appreciate it. >> pleasure, wolf. >>> don't forget to tune in to fareed zakaria gps, it airs every sunday here on cnn 10:00 a.m. eastern and 1:00 p.m. eastern as well. david petraeus returns to capitol hill for the first time since his shocking resignation

leave as one of the most popular members of the obama administration. clinton talks about how she's been in the political spotlight for 20 years. and she wants her life back. fair enough. says she wants to sleep, relax. okay. but what about after that? while hillary clinton has repeatedly said she won't run for president again, this is the same woman who says politics is in her dna. she is after all a clinton. and with a resume that includes secretary of state, senator, first lady, well, a democratic nomination is probably hers for the taking if she wants it. vice president joe biden's keeping the door open to a possible 2016 presidential run although he recently acknowledged it might depend on the economy. a memo to the vice president might also depend on hillary clinton. here's the question, is hillary clinton the answer? go to cnn.com/caffertyfile or go to our post on "the situation room" facebook page. never too early to start speculation. >> special for those of us who are political news junkies. i've been saying for a while no inside information.

i hope that the new administration, obama administration, can make a change, by saying, look, if you want the peace, you have to divide that palestinian land, without any condition. there is no need to have 20 years of negotiations for nothing. you have to withdraw now, and then we can talk about the arrangement. i think they can do that. if they did that, there would be a huge change in the region. >> and if the israelis were to do that, would you accept a two-state solution? a secure israel, and an independent palestine living next door to each other? >> well, i want to say clearly, the palestinians are seeking to have their rights. if they can't have fully, this is the best choice. if they couldn't, they are ready to fight and to sacrifice in order to have those rights. >> osama hamdan is a spokesman for hamas. mr. hamdan, thanks very much for joining us. let's see what happens over the next 24 to 48 hours. do you believe, one final question, there will be a cease-fire? >> well, i believe there is a good chance to have a cease-fire, which can fulfill the needs of both sides. >> th

jill, exactly what is the obama administration doing right now? >> reporter: well, they're on the phone, wolf. the president is in asia. he is making telephone calls and practically every senior administration person is doing the same thing. president obama calling israel, prime minister netanyahu, and egypt three times to president morsi. and president clinton calling the egyptians three times. i looked at the list, egypt, turkey, qatar, the french, ban ki-moon. and the whole entire is to press any country with any influence on either side but especially with the palestinians with gaza to put the pressure on them to stop the fighting. >> egypt is clearly a key player. they have influence with hamas. what's the u.s. doing in its talks with the egyptian government? >> reporter: again, they're putting as much pressure on them as they can. and there is some pressure because after all, the united states gives egypt about $450 million every year. so here's one expert that we talked to. this is how he explained how the egyptians can use their influence.
